Anybody still looking for DCUC Series 2 may wanna check out Meijers in slow areas, my sister actually came across pegs fully stocked with a case of series 2. Sadly, only a single Aquaman, but that's more than I had already so it was a welcome find.

The 1:50 Burtonmobile has been hitting, and it's quite a nice looking piece. Seems slightly bigger than the rest of the cars made so far as it has a larger bubble, and it appears to have a sliding canopy.

I got JLU Booster Gold and Dr. Fate show accurate repaints yesterday. The single packed figures are now NCF at Target. Apparently one of their factories/vendors closed up shop unexpectedly in December and thus they haven't had new product from that line at all this year until now.

While it's not completely Mattel's fault, still...it could only happen to them!

You could try MileZone, my stepdad and I have gotten quite a few things from them for various car lines. Out of about 15 or so orders they've only messed one up, and it was a simple mistake. Their prices are $1-2 higher for the newer Batmobile releases, but better than hunting them down, and the shipping is usually pretty fair.

DC Universe The Flash - a fairly decent representation of the Scarlet Speedster. Using the line's standard buck body works pretty well here, although the bulk of the shoulders doesn't quite match the lower arms, and there's an obvious plug in the upper back where another figure's cape would go. Rubbery wings on the head and boots, the ones on the head don't quite line up but close enough to fudge it. One real annoyance is the "belt" paint, normally the lightning bolts meet in the middle, here it's just a single lightning line all the way across, don't work as well.

Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.

Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

That single lightning bolt belt design marks this Flash as the Silver Age Barry Allen Flash. This was the design sported by the character from his intro in 1956 to his death in Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985/86, and has been a consistent motif with this version of the character in every subsequent appearance on through to his recent reappearance in the DC Universe.
The version of the costume featuring the V-shaped lightning bolt belt that meets in the middle is an earmark of the Wally West version of the character.

What is up with this wave? I still haven't seen Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, or Aquaman at retail. Saw a bunch of them at a convention recently, but decided to wait... assumed that they'd turn up. Obviously that was wrong.
